When we say “indigo,” we’re talking about the plant that produces a blueish dye. The most common way to use it is by mixing it with henna and applying it to your hair. You can do this in many different ways:
- Use both indigo and henna together, as a 50-50 mix
- Use 100% indigo instead of using henna (but be warned—this will stain everything!)
- Create streaks or highlights in your hair by applying indigo over other colors like blonde or red
Using henna and indigo together is a great way to get the color you want.
Using henna and indigo together is a great way to get the color you want. It’s easy, inexpensive, and you can create some really fun colors by mixing them together.
If you’re looking for a deep burgundy-like color, mix 1 part henna powder with 3 parts indigo powder. If you’re looking for a more reddish color (but not burgundy), mix 1 part henna powder with 2 parts indigo powder. And if you’re looking for a dark black dye that will last longer than just plain old black hair dye – mix 3 parts henna with 5 parts indigo!
These proportions will work best if your hair is long enough so that it takes at least 30 minutes before washing out the dye (or 24 hours if using an oil based one).

You can mix henna with indigo powder in different ways depending on what kind of color you want to achieve. If you want more red tones, consider using a light brown henna base. You could also try mixing equal parts of both ingredients for an orange-y brown tone or adding more indigo to darken things up even further (though this may result in less conditioning abilities). The choice is yours!

Different hair types have different results. If you want a dark color, you can’t just apply once. You’ll need to do multiple applications of indigo for it to sink in and turn your hair blue or black. You can get varying shades of blue depending on how much indigo you use and how long after applying it before washing out your hair (the longer the wait time between applying and washing, the darker your shade will be).
You can apply henna first and then do an indigo application afterwards, or vice versa. If this sounds confusing then maybe consider using both products together at once!
